Lee McCutcheon Priest has had a varied career which stemmed from his bodybuilding work. After beginning his training at only the age of twelve, inspired by his own mother’s career, he began racking up contest wins and won Mr. Australia by the age of nineteen. At the time, he was one of the youngest men ever to become an IFBB pro, and he remained one for an impressive sixteen years.
His dedication to building his body up and pushing it to the limits allowed him to excel in his profession. Throughout his life, it’s given him some opportunities to dabble in modelling between his training sessions. It also landed him a gig doing some bodywork for the Hulk movie and video game because of his impressive physique.
Priest has also competed as a racing driver, trying his hand at drag-racing and circle track. In 2005, he was awarded Rookie of the Year, and he continued to compete in racing for several more years before making a comeback in the world of bodybuilding.
Now, Priest is associated with the brand, Abundant Sport, where he has worked with them to create products for fellow sportsmen and fitness enthusiasts. He’s also the cover model for all of their products. In addition, Priest works with Mental Culture, endorsing products from supplements and workout aids to t-shirts and vodka.
